French (language): What is the best English translation for "la vie en rose?"
La vie en rose literally translates to Life in pink. However, it would be better translated to life through rosy (pink) glasses. The idea is to depict a state where everything appears rosy and cheerful to you. It's about a state of bliss when everything around you is a source of joy. This is the kind of state you are usually in when you are deeply in love.This also matches with what Edith Piaf sings in the song of the same name, as described by Jim Gordon.As Jim Gordon explains in his comment below, voir la vie en rose does not have the foolishly optimistic sense that seeing the world through rosy glasses has. Instead, it just refers to a state of bliss where the viewer sees things in positive light.
Should I take French or Sanskrit as my second language?
Most people aren't pointing out that French in CBSE schools are generally poorly taught and it is mostly viewed as a scoring subject.I know because I learnt French in a CBSE school for many years and the there are people in my class who can't barely write a sentence in French; I can atleast write and translate most written sentences and read a bit and that's the normal topper in French. Now that I am shifting to an international curricula (IB) I am suffering; teachers were shocked to know that I couldn't speak French with atleast moderate fluency.Sanskrit on the other hand is similar to Hindi and if you are from the south and your third language isn't a variation of Hindi, I would suggest taking Sanskrit.However if you are from a Hindi speaking area and already know Hindi fluently, then taking French isn't a terrible idea; it will give you some grasp later on when you really learn the subject. You can also independently learn the language alongside regular school classes to shock your peers and teachers :PYours,Rohit Æ
What are the advantages of learning French? I don't plan on living in a French speaking country, and I'll probably only visit, so that aspect isn't very significant for me.
A2AYou can fetch the facts and statistics about the French language pretty easily from the internet. Better yet, you'll know them already. It's pretty powerful stuff. French is highly relevant in many fields, to many people and in many ways. Of course, that doesn't necessarily make it relevant to you, but it falls to you to activate yourself and use the skills you acquired! The general advantage of learning any language is always the same: one limit less. How much you cared about being limited, and how happy you are to have overcome that particular obstacle depends on you.It's a little easier with English than it is with any other language, because you don't need to live in an English-speaking country for English to be, quite literally, all around you. Especially if you have access to a computer with an internet connection. But it's not so terribly different with French. How much you use it, however, is really up to you. You could get a job that requires you to use it, or not. You could get in and out of all sorts of human relationships that require you to use it, or not. You could watch movies and read books in French (including some that might not be available in your native language), or not. Those are advantages. The choice of whether or not to tap into them is yours. Perhaps the greatest advantage of all is subtly hidden: you can do those things, you don't have to...
What is the definition of gender relations?
Gender relations pretty much means what are the male and female roles, attitudes, etc, and how do the different genders interact with each other. So basically, what are men traditionally like in your culture or region, what do they do, etc. What are women like and what do they do? And what are relationships like between men and women? Like, are men usually more in charge and dominant and the women stay at home? Or is there more gender equality? Stuff like that.
Please help me answer these questions if anyone read charles dickens, tale of two cities?
1. Picture yourself in the year 2500. 450 years ago, the world experienced a devastating war that destroyed much of that era’s civilization. Considerable amounts of knowledge have been lost, meaning you have little knowledge of life on earth before 2050. You are the leader of an archeological expedition determined to uncover the secrets of humanity’s ancient past. One afternoon, at a dig site in an area once known as Long Island (you don’t know why it was called that), you discover something amazing! You find a book! In it, you have a story from the past. The book is called A Tale of Two Cities by some unknown author named Charles Dickens. From this book and this book alone, since you have no other sources, you have been assigned to write a 4-5 page formal report on your discovery. Your superiors want to know what are the causes and consequences of this mysterious French Revolution, and what can humans of the 25th century learn from this era. Frame your essay as I described above. If you choose this question, be sure that I know you are writing from the future. And you absolutely, positively MUST use only your knowledge from Dickens. If there is any evidence of outside knowledge, your essay will be in serious trouble. 2. Is there a consistent message throughout A Tale of Two Cities or does the message change somewhere in the story? If there is no change, tell me why. If there is a change, tell me where it appears and why the message changes. 3. How does Dickens make YOU feel about the French Revolution? Based upon A Tale of Two Cities, do you feel that the French Revolution was justified? Do you feel that the consequences of the revolution were justified? Why or why not? 4. If you were Sydney Carton, what would YOU have done and why? To properly answer this question, you must evaluate the character of Carton, using examples from the entire book to explain to me who he really is. You must also explain why he made his choice and why, if you were he, you would have either done the same or not. 5. Is Madame Defarge a bitter, wicked woman, who embodies true evil, or is there more to her character? Does she take her vengeance too far? Does she deserve her fate at the end? To effectively answer this question, you need to show me that you under very well what has motivated M. Defarge, and, of course, you must judge her.

What does the phrase "good luck with your future endeavors" mean?
It's an example of what is called boilerplate text. Boilerplate text is used to convey routine types of information.This exact phrase could be described as a polite way “to tell someone off.” In other words, they are telling you to have success in whatever it is that you will do next other than working with them because you and its author are having a parting of ways.“Good luck in your future endeavors" can have either positive or negative implications, depending on your relationship with the sender.If sent by HR where you were just fired, the implication is your future endeavors will not be in that previous employer’s place. ‘Good luck and don’t return seeking additional work opportunities.’If instead this is a statement made with a broad smile and a firm handshake by someone with whom you probably have a good relationship, it's actually a compliment, albeit it a rather weak one.More likely, however, it is not an especially sincere goodbye (unless the speaker feels like they don’t really know you well enough to make it more personal and favorable).An example of a more personal and favorable way to say goodbye to a good coworker is, "I've really enjoyed working with you. All the best in whatever you do from here on. You have my contact info. Please stay in touch!"If instead all you got was the boilerplate about which you asked, I think it's pretty clear that whoever sent or said it was trying to appear to be polite or formal, but not particularly complimentary, unless they said other things more like the example in the previous paragraph.Because the termination of employment situation can be very traumatic for the person leaving, people are very careful what they say. They may simply say the boilerplate thing because that's all they can think of to say (and they don’t want to pile more on top of the criticism just levied by the firing manager).Finally, this boilerplate is typical of what you get in what is called a "rejection letter" after a job application failed to produce a request for you to interview in person or by telephone, or they interviewed you and did not offer you the job. Try not to assign any emotional content to a phrase like that. It's just boilerplate.In the current economy, many employers don't even bother to send a polite rejection letter to applicants whom they reject. They expect you to “take a hint.”The reason for that is they don't want to answer endless questions from rejected applicants.

How do you say New Year in French?
It depends what you want to say specifically. I’m gonna assume you mean it as in ‘Happy New Year’ since you used capital letters, in which case you would say ‘Bonne année’ which literally translates as ‘Good year’. You could also say, though it’s not as common, ‘Bon nouvel an’ (‘Good New Year’).Now if you’re looking for a more ‘usable in a sentence’ translation, I’d go with ‘Nouvel An’, which literally means ‘New Year’, that we use as a common noun when we talk about, for example, plans and schedule.‘What are your plans for the New Year?’“Qu’est-ce que tu fais pour le Nouvel An ?”
